  • How Mayor Allan Branch Is Rebuilding the Spirit of Panama City
    Dec 22 2025
    This week, I’m sitting down with someone whose life and leadership reflect one simple truth: the most meaningful relationships are the ones that see more in you than you see in yourself. Mayor Allan Branch is a walking example of that. Whether he’s building businesses, shaping downtown Panama City, or simply serving neighbors one small act at a time, Allan brings a spirit of intention, creativity, and heart into everything he touches.
    In this episode, we talk about growing up in a tight-knit family, learning to see potential in unexpected places, and why community leadership begins with paying attention to people. Allan shares how art, software, and public service all fit into his creative brain, and how the kindness he received growing up fuels the way he leads today. This conversation is a reminder that the soul of a city is built by people who care enough to imagine something better and work toward it every day.

  • When Looking Back Helps You Move Forward
    Dec 15 2025
    Sometimes I say, “Don’t look in the rearview mirror. That’s not where you’re going.” But today I’m sharing why looking back can be holy work. When we glance over our shoulder with an open heart, we remember just how far God has brought us and how much He can still do when we keep our hands open and ready to receive. In this episode, I talk about the seasons that shaped me: the years of working three jobs, the embarrassment I carried, the kindness that kept my lights on, and the moments when God used people to love me back to life. And now, standing in this beautiful building and walking in blessings I once prayed for, I’m reminded why gratitude is the fuel that moves us forward. If you’re in a hard season, I hope my stories remind you that you’ve made it through every hard day so far and you’ll make it through this one too. Look back only long enough to say, “Thank You,” then let faith lead you on.

    Episode Highlights:
    [00:00] Welcoming our newest sponsor: Buffalo Rock Pepsi
    [01:00] Why looking back can deepen gratitude
    [02:00] Letting go, letting God, and speaking to Impact 100

    [04:00] Humbling jobs, old uniforms, and the embarrassment that shaped me
    [05:00] The moment I couldn’t afford power and prayed for a way forward
    [06:00] When community loved me through my hardest Christmas
    [07:00] Walking into blessings I once begged God for
    [08:00] Keeping your hands open so God can fill them
    [09:00] Reframing lack with “It’s not in my budget”
    [10:00] Using the past as proof that you can survive anything
    [11:00] Protecting your peace from negativity
    [12:00] Letting your story become someone else’s hope
